cat food grinder

Another Use For My Coffee Grinder

Have been talking about Brendel and her baby food she is enjoying. I need to gradually add her dry food to it without her knowing. Her dry food will provide the extra nutrients she needs, not found in the baby food she is eating. This will be fun. She doesn't miss much. I found my coffee grinder I don't use any more. And it will be perfect for this project. The box the grinder came in talked about grinding nuts, so why not cat food! Now I have some ground in a sealed container. It is like a powder. I will add a teaspoon to her dinner later and hope she eats it. Will update you later.

That's a good idea. If I run out of powdered sugar, I'll put granulated sugar in my grinder. Works great. I sure hope she eats it.

That too is a great idea. Thinking outside the box. We are so smart.

Thanks, I hope so too.

It probably would work well, so long as she doesn't see you do it. Cats are smart and catch on quick.

@CarolDM That doesn't sound very supportive. Kind of mean and I did not intend for my comment to be mean.

@sallypup He would joke with him. His teachers often said he would be an honor roll student if he applied himself. He graduated with honors actually. Surprised everybody.

Why is Brendel on baby food? I hope she is all okay and it's not due to any of her health concerns.
